Feeling Lucky

I just returned from an afternoon of running errands... groceries at Wal-Mart, trip to the car wash where my car was restored to black from the grayish white that it has been for a month and a half, and most importantly 7-11 for my Mega Millions ticket.

I'm really feeling like by the end of the day I will be a multi-millionaire! I know I said earlier in the week that anytime I enter a contest or lottery I feel like I'm for sure going to win. You probably think I'm crazy for thinking this way, but here is why I do... I cannot tell you how many times I hear "Wow, that NEVER happens!". Now granted this is almost always in response to some run of bad luck I'm having and the person is explaining that this isn't their usually method of operation but some crazy fluke that has just for the very first time in the entire history of their business happened to me! You see, at some point, I figure that this thing that NEVER happens will turn around from something bad and will in fact be something good...like winning the lottery! FINGERS CROSSED!

More to my run of bad luck... I went to run all those aforementioned errands and accidentally left my bedroom door open. How could that be bad luck you are asking? Well that means that while I was gone, there were not one, not two, but THREE trashcans for Lola to pillage. I'm sure she thought it was better than a day at Disney Land, but I have trash galore scattered from one end of my house to the other! Good thing she is cute...

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau
